Sounds ok, but i dont like how youre either hearing vocals or the guitar....it feels like its always either a chorus or a solo...

i liked the intro a lot

Never seen angels fight dragons before...Wonder what might they possibly have against each other...Is this over whose wings are bigger or something? Oh, or maybe those are actually wyverns (if you've played Sacred 1, you probably know Wyverns are not dragons, LOL), and the dragons are good guys in reality...Can't wait to find out...


Edit: actually, the song ain't that bad, I expected a lot more cheese to be poured upon me...The solos don't do anything for me, but the chorus is ok...

Edit2: soooo, a secret, huh...Me loves secrets Lets see now..."...secret trapped between frozen lands of the known world"...Hmm...Hey, maybe Rhapsody have discovered Atlantis? Beneath Antarctica? But naaah, it has to have something to do with angels...and dragons/wyverns...damn, I still can't pick a side between those two...damn you, rhapsody!!!

Edit3: LMAO

Ill never get used to call them ''Rhapsody of fire'', they'll always be only rhapsody to me...

And yeah, the cover looks a bit dark for them, and i've never seen angels vs. dragons before

The song is very good, not a masterpiece, but definitely a good one. About the cover, yes, it's dark but I like it

Only listened to it once, but it didn't do a great deal for me.
I look forward to hearing the whole thing though.

Listened to it, and I have both good and bad feelings about it. One sure thing: I'll listen to the whole album.
And happy birthday Luca Tirilli!

Depends on where you look, really...
Also, remember those Christian saints who are credited with killing a dragon (St George for example). After all, maybe angels helped them

But it is true, that in Rhapsody's world dragons were the good ones...at least in Emerald Sword Saga...maybe it changed with Dark Secret or the angels are evil here...

Unless I'm mistaken, Tharos (the mighty dragon) sided with evil first, before helping the hero and dying...

Yeah I was a bit surprised when I saw it. Their covers usually are brighter with more going on.

I'm a tool of this band, I really loved the song, it's not THAT good, but it worked for me, I liked how every instrument had its part in the song, it was like them saying "hey, we are back!", I hope this will be a nice comeback.

I don't understand why people are saying this song is fast. To me, it's a mid-tempo song.

Rhapsody have made much faster songs than that in the past.

Of course, I must not judge the speed of a Powermetal song by comparing it to the Black Metal and Thrash music I listen to almost every day but, like I mentioned, Rhapsody themselves have made songs much faster than this one.
Even for PM standards, it's not a fast song. (maybe if you compare it to recent Edguy or Avantasia but the deal is neither Avantasia nor Edguy are metal bands now)

It's good to see something. "Triumph..." was an inconsistent album, and I hope the new one will be better. I am looking for more of an emphasis on the power metal side of things, which this song offers.

The song isn't amazing, but it may well sound better at a better compression.
